Nice....

Some random notes that came to mind after watching last night's coverage and speeches...

1) Hillary knocked it out of the park. Nothing for the pundits to cling to in their never ending quest to divide (the Democrats) and conquer (or give a big assist to the Republicans). Ron Fornier did his best this morning. Fucker. Glad Obama's peeps are wise to the AP's shift to Fox-style "analysis". It still hurts that they keep trotting out the lines Hillary threw out in the primary. But her speech did a lot to shift away from the primary fight.

2) She had a couple good lines. I especially liked the "Sisterhood of the Travelling Pantsuits" joke. Self depreciating and funny. I liked that she eschewed her normal tope pantsuit and came out in a tropical orange. Orange is the new tope!!!

3) Bush/McCain = Twin Cities was another good one. I tell you, all they need to do to win in November is continually air that picture of McCain giving a gay man-hug to Bush. The framing of Bush=McCain in her speech was perfect.

4) I mainly flipped through the coverage, waiting for that featured speech. Fox News ran ALERTS after her speech, telling viewers that Hillary preferred Obama. No shit?!?! Also made the mistake of watching the last 2 minutes of Glen Beck's horrible show. How does Fat Face stay on CNN, the supposed liberal bastion of news, when his ratings are worse than infomercials? Anyway, Beck was "analyzing" Obama's campaign songs to try to belittle him. Apparently Obama plays a U2 song (won't hold that against him) that has the line "you are beautiful", and that rankles Fat Face. Fucking lame. He should have waited til Hillary's intro film. At one point, the background music was Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way". Yes, Hillary, are you gonna back the Unity Pony or what? Or are you going to split the party after how horribly you were treated by those evil Obamites? As far as bullshit analogies that benefit Republican framing, Fat Face would have been better served to "analyze" that. Too late now.
